What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise this cream for delivering serious hydration in an unexpectedly lightweight texture that absorbs quickly and doesn't feel heavy or greasy. The formula is celebrated for soothing irritation and working well under makeup, sunscreen, and active ingredients without causing peeling or breakouts. It appeals to both dehydrated and oily skin types because it hydrates without leaving shine, though the simple ingredient list is its defining strength for sensitive skin.

"I actually didn't think I was going to like this cream, quite honestly, because it is so simple, but it's actually a really well-performing moisturizer. It gently hugs in the hydration. It gently fights the dehydration. It offers moisturization that feels light, non-greasy, not overly rich. Not something that leaves your skin shiny at the surface. So it's actually something that I feel comfortable going out in when it's much warmer and my skin is feeling a little bit more oily. This feels seasonally appropriate if you have a little bit more dryness, but you don't want to overwhelm your skin. And just that simple formula is definitely great even when my skin's feeling a little bit irritated. This is my recommendation for combination skin that leans a little bit more towards the dry side. This is also going to be great if you have a weak moisture barrier, if you're suffering with a lot of dehydration on your skin or if you have sensitive skin."

"The Tower 28 Daily Barrier Recovery Cream. I love this one because it is so so hydrating, but really feels lightweight. Doesn't feel like there's anything heavy on your skin. It's an intentionally basic daily moisturizer designed for sensitive skin. The founder suffered from severe eczema and wanted to formulate something intentionally basic, going back to just the essentials to cut out all the other ingredients that might be irritating to your skin. She formulated this with hyaluronic acid and ceramides, all hydrating ingredients meant to help repair your skin barrier. And it truly is a fast absorbing cushiony soft cream that's not sticky. It won't clog your pores. It won't cause breakouts. And it doesn't sting at all. I love how it instantly hydrates your skin and soothes irritation. Ceramides act like mortar, the glue holding your skin cells together. So it helps to support your healthy skin barrier by keeping moisture in and bad stuff like irritants and microbes out."

"The Tower 28 Daily Barrier Recovery Cream is the most lightweight product that I'm going to be sharing in today's video. This actually dries down skin-like, so generally with richer, more moisturizing creams, sometimes they can leave your skin a little shinier because they're more rich and more emollient, but this actually dries down skin-like. So if you do have oily skin, you might really like this, especially in your morning routine, but I like it even when my skin is super dry and it always does the job. This has hyaluronic acid to hydrate, there are ceramides in here to repair and strengthen that skin barrier. It also prevents transepidermal water loss. There's allantoin, which can help to soothe the skin and prevent moisture loss. There's glycerin in here and the list goes on. So it's a great one to use underneath sunscreen, makeup. I've never experienced peeling, and it's also a great one to use with active ingredients like retinol, tretinoin, glycolic acid, whatever you're using. And this can be used every day, twice a day. I like the squeezy tube type of packaging. You are getting 1.86 fluid ounces. It is fragrance-free."
